A note from John:
It was an honor of a lifetime to perform my new Ukraine tribute song “Can One Man Save the World”, with the Ukrainian Orchestra in the ruins of the Antonov Airport in front of the Ukrainian’s beloved Mriya, the world’s largest cargo plane, that Putin cynically destroyed at the outset of the war.
In sharing this musical collaboration on such hallowed ground, I saw firsthand the fortitude and grace of the Ukrainian people, who whether they are playing a violin or driving a tank, will not be deterred by Putin’s atrocities and aggressions.
I am grateful to my partners in this mission, “Save Our Allies”, one of the several NGO’s I began working with after the withdrawal from Afghanistan, who’s relationship with President Zelensky and the Ukrainian military made this effort a reality. SOA, formed by Afghan vets and the wife of a catastrophically wounded veteran, rescued over 12,000 during a ten-day period at HKIA. Their heroic work in Afghanistan is now being replicated in Ukraine coordinating humanitarian relief. All proceeds from this video and song will go to Save Our Allies to assist them in continuing their humanitarian work in Ukraine. Please donate at https://saveourallies.org if you are so inclined.
I call on my colleagues in the arts to join me in holding a ‘Live Aid’ type concert for Ukraine at the end of summer to benefit Ukrainian relief and refugees. The Russian people need to understand they are pariahs not only economically and politically, but culturally. Music can be a powerful salvo in permeating borders for those deluged by propaganda.
Can one man, one person, save the world? Not alone they can’t. Though this song recognizes President Zelensky and all Ukrainians, it is equally about each one of us. I believe we all, as free individuals, and free nations, must do our part in ensuring that freedom and liberty is defended when one of our fellow democracies is being decimated. As the last words of our video state: History Starts Now.
J

putin just choose a wrong country
Awesome
This Is A Beautiful Song
I got to see Five for Fighting preform this song at Big Top Chautauqua tonight in Northern Wisconsin. It was incredible! I want to thank you so much for your dedication to the military and their families. My father-in-law, husband and son have all been in the Army along with numerous family member. My father-in-law was in Vietnam and my husband was in Desert Storm. After 3 1/2 years in the Army my son is currently in the National Guard. Thank you!
This is some creepy idol worshiping.
He has shown an example of courage which helps 2 keep Ukraine's people going. God bless.
Beautiful song.
I saw him preform this live with the tape of the Ukrainian band playing in the background. Powerful
Nicely done John.
From Ireland I've started the process of joining the army and once I've finished training I'll be volunteering to go to ukraine
Xoxoxo
This made me cry! Beautifully done! Praying for Ukraine 🇺🇦
My hearts broken after seeing this…💔
Can't understand why the Richest countries can't stand up to Bullies.
England, France, Saudi Arabia,United States, Germany, Japan,
And where in the Hell is THE UNITED NATIONS ?
I pray Donald j.Trump because our Next president.
Bieden is a Chicken Shit.
Trump would not let it get this far.
Beautiful song gives me goose bumps I'm afraid we gt the wrong com n chief
"Unprovoked"
But what is the Ukrainian military doing to stop their child sex trafficking and the money laundering and shut down their biolabs? Oh wait it's the Russians trying to stop that.
This diserve SO MUCH MORE LOVE! 😍

Thank you from 🇺🇦💙💛❤️
Very Cool – Just saw you last night 8/2/22 at the Paramount in Huntington. What a great show and loved the video. Your Love for our country truly shows.
Good to see them making music
Sometimes it only takes one to start the fire that spreads to each person's heart
yeah, Zilensky got all of us thinking
meanwhile Russian soldier are stinking
on my soil
Ukrainian president got us all thinking
will Putler pick them up?!?
if so then when?!?
Don't need them stinking up my land!!!
🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Ukraine is the land of heroes! Putler will meet the same fate as Hitler!
Great job! I'll be sending this to EVERYONE.
To have that man as a leader while my own country (US) has the idiotic regime of Biden is unbelievably and disgustingly embarrassing. Not many modern leaders would do what the Ukrainian President has, hell of a man.
Beautiful song…about an antichrist lol. I’ll answer your question “can one man save the world?”…no, not a man. Jesus, the savior, however can and will save the world. Y’all can’t be this blinded can ya? Prayers for you all!
seems like people didnt get the point. Ukranian prez is comedian even on prezidential post and Russian attacked Ukranian for their lawlessness and transgretion common standards.
Юкраинцы тут как тут услышали слово Юкраына и комедика своего преза а
